The new laptop is way cool. All the stuff is now installed and it compiles nice and fast... The batteries last well, even when the screen is bright and the disk is quiet. I can sit on the sofa and code without being told off for disturbing the TV watching... The keyboard is SO much better than my aging Dell brick... Haven't yet needed to try the WIFI, I have CAT5 points everywhere in the flat anyway... The Bluetooth hardware is MS compatible, so I can write that wrapper code now...
Went to France, via Dixons in the terminal. They have the 1.5Ghz Sony in stock. £1700. I didn't have £1700 with me, so I need to wait until next month :( :( :(
credit card?

And even if I did, we didn't have enough time - the train had started loading, and we had to wait for 15 minutes at the booths because some dopey plonker in front of us had lost their passport, and the person behind was too stupid to reverse back and over into the next booth which was, of course, empty. Grrrr >:-|
